The Cleveland Cavaliers ended up selecting USC big Evan Mobley #3 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft, and they could have a potential superstar in the near future with the versatile 7-footer in doing so.
Along with the Mobley selection, on Thursday evening, the Cavs reportedly traded Taurean Prince, a 2022 second-round pick via the Washington Wizards and cash considerations to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Ricky Rubio.
While we’d have to see if Rubio could potentially be around past next season, with him set to be expiring like Prince, Rubio should bring stability and legitimacy to the backup point guard spot for Cleveland next season.
